A world without entropy , where dice rule over everything. There exist gods, who create wide sweeping changes in hope of revalence. And mortals, who roll just to survive to another day, attempting to eke out a better existence. Which are you though?

Spoiler: Tribes (click to show/hide)

Tribes/ A name, specialty, and appearance.
Tribes can perform 3 actions to start, Foraging, Researching, and Growing.

Food: How much you have in reserve to feed your population. You start with 10.
Research: The door to new actions and improvements to the old.
Workers: The number of dice you can roll. Improved by spending 3 food and rolling a dice. You tart with 5.

When foraging, check a tile's stats and roll dice for each worker. A 1-2 is a failure, and 3-6 success.
When researching, declare a topic then roll dice for each worker assigned. 1-2 means no progress, 3-5 1 progress, and 6 2 progress.
When trying to grow, roll a die for each attempt. 1-2 means no growth, food is wasted. 3-5 means 1 growth and a new worker. 6 means 2 growth and 2 new workers.

If you do not have enough food to feed everyone who worked that turn, workers die at a 1:1 ration.

Spoiler: Gods (click to show/hide)

Gods/ A Name, domain, and appearance
Gods can act in any number of ways, from creating tiles mortals can plunder, to disrupting other gods. Their actions are only constrained by their creativity. However, the more ambitious the action, the more devastating the results of the dice.

Players roll their own dice, keep track of their own stats, and generally make it less taxing on the GM. As the game unfolds, new info will naturally be added to the OP. I only ask that you don't fudge your results. Cheating isn't all that fun for anyone, including the cheater. And may the odds ever be in your favor.

4 - Barren Plains: An uninteresting expanse of sparse grassland. Food gained from this area: 1 Food per worker. Will expire in 4 turns.

[Egan_BW]

Name: Gruggum (singular: grug, plural: gruggi)
Specialty: Hitting Things Hard
Appearance: Green!

Food: 10
Research: Hunting (0)
Workers: 5

Research hunting x5! Gruggi need high protein! And foraging in the fields is just treading water...

Rolls: 6, 2, 6, 6, 5.
7 Progress.

[Secretdorf]

I shall play god.
Name: Wager
Domain: Secrets
Appearance: A young human(one of the lesser races) in dark light armor shrouded in a black cloak.

[Egan_BW]

((Probably want to go ahead and post an action and roll a d6, there.))

[Secretdorf]

I shall observe from the shadows for now.

[Supernerd]

Disregard this post. I decided not to play this.

I am going to assume that players are expected to wait until their application is accepted before posting an action.

Spoiler: Tribe Application (click to show/hide)

Tribe Name: Nettaane Tribe
Specialty: Multitasking
Appearance: Medium Humanoid creatures with two heads and four arms.

[TricMagic]

Nah, can go ahead and post an action if you wish. One thing to note is that workers that don't work don't cost any food for upkeep. Not particular useful, but shaves some numbers I guess.

[Supernerd]

So... Does that mean that the tribe specialty is pointless?

[TricMagic]

For now anyway. As usual it will help with some research. This game is off the cuff.
Research results will be revealed when the turn passes. Which is today. Any research points in a tree will be kept too if you switch.

[Supernerd]

Disregard this post. I decided not to play this.

Right now foraging seems pointless as it is impossible to get a net gain to food in a turn even with maximum rolls (Even I'm not that harsh). So the only potentially viable option is to hope I can research an improvement that makes it not-impossible before I run out of food.

Nettaane Tribe

Research: Better Foraging x5
Rolls: 4, 5, 2, 1, 4

Research projects: Better Foraging. 3 Progess.

[Magmacube_tr]

I am picking god.

Name: Magmacube
Domain: Volcanoes
Appearance: Do I need to explain? A floating cube of magma with two large eyes and a mouth with three sets of triangular obsidian teeth. The top face has a pair of nostrils, and floating around the body are two, three-fingered hands made of rectangles.

My first action is to create a new tile, a volcano.

[Devastator]

I'll take a god slot.

God: Fafnir
Domain: Monsters
Appearance: Gigantic black acid-breathing dragon.

Create a not-volcanic mountain to live in.

Huh? What's the idea behind that? Seems to mean there's no chance of actually starving, which is in the title of the thread!
And also means that foraging 1-value tiles is literally counter-productive, you'll survive better by doing nothing at all.
